Well, the end of the year is soon upon us and Grande Conservative Blogress Diva Pamela Geller must either prepare to surrender her crown — or fight to keep it. As you know, we here at GayPatriot consider a conservative blogress diva any blogress who commands the support of gay conservative men.

And this past year, I have discovered many blogresses meriting the honor of being a blogress diva that I will wait and see the names our readers submit before submitting my list (as we have in yearspast).

I will, however, kick off the context by placing in nomination the name of an Obama supporter who has long commanded my respect: Camille Paglia. As we receive submissions and seconds, Bruce and I will determine which divas compete for the crown. We expect to honor not only a Grande Conservative Blogress Diva, her prize hereinafter to be known as the “Ethel” in honor of that Republican most beloved by gay men–Ethel Merman.

She will be helped by at least one Conservative Blogress Regent, a title now held by Tammy Bruce and neoneocon and known as the Endora (or Agnes) in honor of the Lavender Lady herself, that “staunch” conservative, Agnes Moorhead. This year, we may also be establishing the Lucy Award in honor of another star of the small screen and famous friend of Ron, that lifelong Republican Lucille Ball.

We will accept nominations until midnight Wednesday, December 16. Shortly thereafter, we will alert the nominees and announce the beginning of the cat fight balloting.

I will, however, kick off the context by placing in nomination the name of an Obama supporter who has long commanded my respect: Camille Paglia.

I view Paglia as sort of a Tammy Bruce stuck in training, a Tammy Bruce who holds herself back year after year by never turning in her homework. Paglia is often entertaining and has some good sense. But. alas, only some.

Actually, ILC, if Camille Paglia is really just “a Tammy Bruce stuck in training,” then she’s the perfect nominee considering that the purpose of awards is now only to honor the recipient’s “potential.”
